Case: Teacher instructing wrong-doing
While volunteering in a special needs school, I have witnessed a teacher who has done things against the Code of Ethics. She has a student who has frequent outbursts that can get out of hand. When it becomes too much for the school to handle, they call the grandfather to come pick the student up. While I was there, the student had an episode and the teacher instructed me to egg the student on to escalate the behavior. She said she wanted her to still be acting up when her grandfather arrived so he could see what they were dealing with (she is normally calmed down by the time he gets there to pick her up). Obviously I knew this was very wrong but I didn't know what to do. I was just a volunteer, and here a veteran teacher is telling me something that I know is wrong. I wanted to report it to an administrator but I didn't feel it was my place because I was just a volunteer. Should I have reported this???
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While you are a volunteer you should never do something you are uncomfortable doing whether that mean finding new volunteer work or not, never do something that you don't feel right doing. Should you have told someone, I believe yes, as the idea that this teacher is sending a student home just to get her out of their hair is both ridiculous and plain wrong. All students are supposed to get an education and as long as they are following the rules and they should get it. You even said that she calms down before her grandfather got their then she should have stayed in the class end of discussion. The administration would know how to handle this situation and you may not even be named at the end of it. |

Comments: Agreed. Anyone, especially a teacher, should stand up for what they feel is right for our students. It is always ok to go to a higher authority when one is not sure what to do. Even in my prayer team at church I was always told to talk with someone higher up if I found an issue I was not certain how to deal with. I feel that letting them in may offer even more suggestion on how to deal with the issue and help the student more affetivvely. |

Comments: I like the solution as it explains in detail of steps to take and how the student had the right to an education as well as the fact that volunteers should not do things they are uncomfortable with or feel are unethical. Great ideas! |
